Preface
1 K-O’d at the K-T 21
Dinosaur extinction • They died in less than a year • A
worldwide layer of iridium • And a layer of soot • Equi-
valent to one billion Hiroshima bombs * A meteor? • No
2 Bolide Bullies 33
Where’s the hole? * Manson Structure • Chixculub ■ Popigai
Reversed polarity? • Volcanoes • The Deccan Traps * The
Siberian Traps • Geologic Time Scale • Extinctions come
in cycles • We can’t find 525 huge craters?
3 Disappearing Act 45
Sea levels fell at every extinction in history • Water tempera-
tures rose 9° to 22°F • Hallam’s and Vail’s sea level charts
The fish clays • Acid rain? • Freshwater animals survived
Black shale • Anoxic waters • Sea levels fell in some areas
but not in others
4 The Irony 55
Extinctions correlate with magnetic reversals • Magnetic
field strength is falling right now • Brunhes • Matuyama
Extinction and glaciation cycles match the reversal cycle
5 Ruler of the Universe 64
Magnetic forces cause explosions on the sun • Granulation
Supergranulation • Sunspots • Magnetic reversals on the sun
produce large electric surges on earth and affect volcanic and
seismic activity • What if a reversal should occur right here?
6 Continental Drift 75
Alfred Wegener • Pangaea * Huge underwater mountains and
magnetic stripes on the seafloor • New seafloor is created at
underwater ridges, then crawls across the ocean to be eaten at
the other end * Map • Benioff zones • Alaska’s Good Friday
earthquake • The biggest dispose-all in the world • All
continents are headed north • Open and close cycle in the seas
7 The Traitor Within 92
Go north young man • North-seeking protons drive the plates
Electrophoresis • Electrotelluric currents • All plates rotate
It’s slow-motion granulation, caused by magnetic repulsion
Thrusts • Faraday’s Law: A fluctuating magnetic field can
produce an electric current • Magnetic reversals move the
plates, shoot electricity through the soil, create metamorphic
rocks, and cause volcanoes • Mountains grow by extension
Bouguer anomalies • Liquefaction * Old Port Royal • Elec-
tromagnetic forces cause earthquakes
8 Earthquake Lights and Crazy Snakes 108
New Madrid • Haicheng * Tangshan • UFOs are earth-
quake lights? * Earthquake lights are escaping electromagnetic
forces • VAN method * Electrotelluric currents • Crazy
snakes and cockroaches twirling, all just before earthquakes
9 Diving Turtles 118
Land rises and falls in sync with our galactic orbit • Today’s
underwater ridge system began at the K-T • Electromagnetic
forces push land upward • Underwater volcanoes affect sea
levels • Sea level changes occur abruptly • Tectonic move-
ment correlates with magnetic reversals • Hairpin turns in the
polar wander curve * 14.1-myr cycle • Mazaud • Mag-
netic reversals cause ice ages
10 Fish Stew 133
Underwater volcanoes heat our seas and may cause El Niño
Freshwater animals survived • Thousands of cubic kilome-
ters of moisture rose into the sky, causing massive floods
What if it had been cold at the time? * Snow, unbelievable
amounts of snow
11 Not by Fire but by Ice 141
The dinosaur’s world ended by ice * Sixteen stories of snow
a day * Climatic cooling caused almost every extinction in
history • What do ice ages have in common? Magnetic rever-
sals • Description of past ice ages • Why do ice ages end
abruptly?
12 Fatal Flaw 151
Mammoth extinction • Big was bad • Herds of mammoths
Horner’s Herd • Nine stories of snow a day ■ They were too
heavy • They couldn’t climb out of the snow
13 Nine Stories of Snow a Day 160
Hail at the rate of 96 feet (nine stories) a day • Standing
mammoths • Edible mammoths • Fast frozen mammoths
14 Pacemaker of the Ice Ages 166
Ice ages correlate with our galactic orbit • So do peaks in
strontium and lead • Ice ages correlate with our celestial
orbit • Copernicus • AdhSmar • Leverrier • Croll
Milankovitch • Precession: Pacemaker of the Ice Ages
15 Noah’s Deluge 177
Ice ages end with huge floods caused by evaporating seas
Columbia River flood • Alberta’s badlands flood • Connec-
ticut River flood • Gulf of Mexico flood • Lake Bonneville
break-out • Warming seas • Rising water-vapor levels
Millions of floods in phase with precession • Volcanism
tracks precession
16 The Next Ice Age—Now! 186
Every ice age began fast • Carbon-14 levels and precession
Precession affects our magnetic field • Magnetic intensity is
falling • A reversal can occur in three weeks? • During
reversals, our magnetic field oscillates • With reversals come
earthquakes, volcanoes, and rising land • The 1980s: one of
the worst decades of volcanism ever ■ List of recent reversals
Reversals correlate with glaciation ■ List of catastrophes in
sync with precession • Here we sit worried about global
warming • Our glaciers are growing
17 The End 206
